Section 1 - Statutory surveys, verifications and issue of certification

1. Conventions that have been extended to the Cayman Islands Shipping Registry (CISR)

The Conventions that have been extended to CISR can be found on the IMO GISIS

website but are also provided in CIGN 03/2020.

2. RO Authorisation

Appendix 1 states the degree of authorisation for the ship’s RO for statutory surveys

and verifications carried out on behalf of CISR. The latest IMO ‘Survey Guidelines

Under the Harmonized System or Survey and Certification (HSSC)’ are to be followed.

3. Drills All audits and general inspections should include witnessing a fire and abandon ship drill; if a drill cannot be witnessed due to valid reasons (i.e. due to port restrictions) this should be recorded in the survey report.

4. Crew Training All surveys/audits/general inspections should verify that seafarers are familiar with their specific duties, ship arrangements, installations, equipment and procedures.

5. Convention requirements left ‘to the satisfaction of the Administration’

CISR requirements for convention requirements left ‘to the satisfaction of the Administration’ are provided in CISN 02/2020

6. IACS Unified Interpretations of Convention requirements All IACS Unified Interpretations as published on 1st January 2020 are recognised by CISR unless stated otherwise herein.

7. IMO Interpretations, Guidance and Recommendations All IMO interpretations, guidance and recommendations (as amended) should be

considered mandatory unless otherwise agreed with CISR on a vessel specific basis; in all cases the relevant IMO guidance or recommendations shall be referenced on the RO plan appraisal letters.

8. Harmonised Surveys and Certification

CISR encourages ship operators to follow the IMO Harmonised System of Survey and Certification (HSSC) scheme, however it is not mandatory.

9. Exemptions and Equivalents - GISIS

Except where there are specific instructions within this document (i.e. SOLAS II-2 fire-extinguishing arrangements in cargo spaces - Reg.10.7), all exemptions and equivalent arrangements will be issued by CISR. Copies of any exemptions allowed to be issued by the RO should be sent to CISR [email protected]

Exemptions and equivalent arrangements that have been issued for CISR ship types (i.e. yachts) or specific ships are available in GISIS in the Cayman Islands (United Kingdom) section. Equivalent arrangements within the scope of the Red Ensign Group (REG) Yacht Code are to be documented on a ‘Form 526 - Equivalent Arrangement Application Form’, as provided in Appendix 2a and 2b. If the arrangements have operational implications agreement of the Owner’s representative will be required. These are not promulgated to the IMO members states but form part of the yacht’s documentation.

10. Approval of manuals

The CISR fully authorises ROs to approve shipboard manuals required by International Convention for which the ROs are fully authorised in accordance with Appendix 1.

The only exceptions to this are:

- Ship Security Plans (SSPs) for all ships

- Shipboard Oil Pollution Prevention Plans (SOPEPs) and Declaration of Maritime Labour Convention (DMLC) Part IIs for yachts

11. Electronic Certificates

CISR has communicated to IMO through GISIS the list of certificates, which may be

issued by the Administration or its ROs as electronic certificates, as well as relevant website links for verification of authenticity.

12. Note to be added to all Convention certificates

The following text relating to the issuing authority is to be included on all certificates:

At the top: “under the authority of the Government of the Cayman Islands by…

At the bottom: "This certificate is issued under the responsibility of the United Kingdom as flag State under the Convention."

This requirement is not applicable to any Statement/Document/Certificate issued to indicate compliance with a Convention that has not been extended to the Cayman Islands by the United Kingdom.

13. Certification updating

RO’s may update all statutory certification with minor amendments such as change of name, tonnage, details of new and/or replaced equipment, etc. This includes certificates issued by CISR. These updates are to be made by hand, signed and stamped by the attending RO’s surveyor.

Advice of such updates to CISR-issued certification must be forwarded to CISR for information.

If the amendments relate to particulars on the Certificate of British Registry (CoBR) the amended CoBR should be sighted before making changes to the statutory certificates. The RO is not authorised to make any changes to the CoBR; if the COBR needs updating a ‘Certificate of Survey (Measurement)’ should be completed and submitted to [email protected]

14. Remote inspection techniques

Submissions have been received from several ROs detailing their proposed use of

remote inspection techniques. The intention is that under certain circumstances an RO

surveyor will not be required to attend a ship to undertake verification of some survey

items. It has been proposed that the “inspection” takes place from an office through

the review of service reports, photographs, videos, etc.

CISR has no objection to ROs undertaking surveys by such means provided the RO

follows a documented procedure, a synopsis of which has been submitted to the CISR

for approval; the overarching criteria to be met being that the remote inspections must

prove be no less effective that an onboard inspection to CISR’s satisfaction. Remote

inspections to clear Port State Control detention items will not be permitted.



15. Surveys outside of survey window

A certificate ceases to be valid if the periodical, intermediate or annual survey, as appropriate, or the inspection of the outside of the ship’s bottom is not completed within the relevant time window.

As per the IMO HSSC guidelines, the validity of the certificate should be restored by carrying out the appropriate survey which, in such circumstances, should consist of the requirements of the survey that was not carried out. However, requirements may depend on the length of time between the end of the survey window and the date of the survey. Written instruction and authorisation shall be requested from the CISR for revalidation/restoration of the validity of the certificate. On completion of the survey, the certificate is to be endorsed with the following text next to the endorsement: "The validity of the certificate has been restored on this date as agreed by the Flag Administration in accordance with IMO Resolution A.1140(31) para. 5.6."

16. Conditions of Class and the recording of deficiencies

The use of Conditions of Class (CoCs) to manage the rectification of minor deficiencies

relating to classification items, e.g. hull structure, machinery and electrical/control

systems, is acceptable to CISR. It is not necessary to issue short term Safety

Construction and/or Load Line certificates in such cases.

However, the use of CoCs etc. to manage the rectification of deficiencies (or multiple

deficiencies) relating to statutory items, e.g. safety equipment, safety radio, etc., which

in the opinion of the RO’s surveyor may affect the validity of the relevant certificate, is

not acceptable to CISR as the only course of action to take.

Such deficiencies (or multiple deficiencies) are to be reported to CISR immediately

which will advise how the deficiencies are to be dealt with, and when deemed

appropriate CISR will issue a time limited letter of no-objection (LONO) permitting the

vessel to sail.

17. Newbuild Passenger Ship and Passenger Yachts

As per Appendix 1, all surveys of passenger ships and passenger yachts will be carried

out by surveyors from CISR in conjunction with surveyors from the RO; as detailed in

a project specific authorisation.

Before issuing a project specific RO authorisation, a RO surveyor pre-authorisation is

required to be completed and accepted by the CISR project surveyor. The RO

surveyor(s) are to provide copies their Certificate of Authorisation which should

indicate their level or authorisation (i.e. supervised or unsupervised for Passenger Ship

Initial Surveys).


Appendix 10 provides the typical delegation of work for a newbuild passenger yacht

project; however, a project specific authorisation with instructions and a delegation

matrix is issued. Whilst all plan appraisal is fully delegated, except for GMDSS Radio

Installation, RO comments on the following reviews/appraisals are to be presented to

CISR for agreement before being released to the client: -

• Life Saving Appliances Plan

• Navigations Lights Plan

• Navigation Equipment Plan

• Bridge Visibility Plan

• Crew Accommodation Plan

• Structural Fire Protection Plan

• Fire Load Calculations

• Escape Plan and Escape Calculations

• Fire Control Plan

• Passenger Safety Instructions

• Weathertight Integrity Plan (incl. glazing)

• Damage Control Plan

18. Existing Passenger Ships and Passenger Yachts

As per Appendix 1, all surveys of passenger ships and passenger yachts will be carried

out by surveyors from CISR in conjunction with surveyors from the RO.

CISR’s lead surveyor, the RO’s surveyor(s), the master and the operator of the vessel

will discuss prior to commencement, the delegation of survey items.

At renewal surveys the RO surveyor(s) and the attending CISR surveyor are to

complete a Combined Declaration of Survey of a Passenger Ship or Passenger Yacht,

as per Appendix 6.

On completion of all surveys CISR will issue the full-term Passenger Ship Safety

Certificate (PSSC) or Passenger Yacht Safety Certificate (PYSC), as appropriate. The

Statement of Operational Limitations is also reviewed and re-issued by CISR at each

renewal survey.

19. Newbuild Large Commercial Yachts

As per Appendix 1, all surveys of large yachts will be carried out by surveyors from

CISR in conjunction with surveyors from the RO. Appendix 3 provides the typical

delegation of work for a newbuild large yacht project; however, a project specific

authorisation with instructions and a delegation matrix is issued.

20. Existing Large Commercial Yachts

As per Appendix 1, CISR undertake annual surveys and audits on all yachts certified

to the REG Yacht Code but may on an ‘ad-hoc’ basis authorise the RO to undertake

surveys or audits on their behalf; on such occasions a CISR authorisation must be

provided.


21. Electronic Official Log Books & IMO Record Books

CIGN 05/2020 and 05/2019 permit provision for the use of electronic official log books

and IMO record books, subject to the conditions mentioned therein.

Section 2 - Registration

1. Equivalent Provisions (EPs)/Alternative Design Arrangement (ADAs)/Exemptions/’Satisfaction of the Administration’

Prior to registration, the RO shall advise CISR of any EPs, ADAs or exemptions approved by the losing Flag that the RO is made aware of. This information is to be accompanied by a reference to the applicable IMO notification and any supporting documentation (risk assessments, safety cases, plans etc.) Furthermore, any items that were determined ‘to the satisfaction of the Administration’ by the losing Flag are to be communicated to CISR.

2. Certificate of Survey (Measurement)

Prior to registration, a Certificate of Survey (Measurement) is to be submitted to CISR for review and acceptance. This information will be transposed onto CISR’s register book and thus the Certificate or British Registry (CoBR) when issued. Passenger berth numbers should be recorded on the Certificate of Survey (Measurement) even if there are less than 13 berths.

3. Carving and Marking Note (CMN)

Once CISR has verified that the vessel meets the flagging-in criteria it will be issued with a C&M Note, so that marking of the ship’s official number, port of registry and any change of name can be arranged for the flag-in survey at which time the attending RO surveyor should sign the C&M note if markings are in accordance with the same. The vessel may not proceed to sea unless it has been properly marked.

4. Certificate of British Registry (CoBR)

Once CISR has verified that the vessel meets the flagging-in criteria it will be issued with a CoBR valid from the date the flag-in surveys and audits have been scheduled.

5. Issuance of Statutory Certificates by ROs

Statutory certificates may be issued by an RO, on behalf of CISR, as soon as the

Certificate of Survey has been accepted by CISR and an Official Number and Call Sign

has been assigned. The statutory certificates are required for review by a CISR surveyor

prior to completing registration.

CISR encourage pleasure yachts not engaged in trade to maintain Load Line, Safety

Construction, Safety Equipment and Safety Radio certificates on a voluntary basis; ROs

are authorised to issue full term or short-term certificates (as per the RO agreement) to

such vessels.

Section 3 – Change or Name or Port Surveys - Yachts

1. When an RO attends to sign the Carving and Marking Note (CMN) for a change of name or Cayman Islands’ port for a yacht they should complete and return the RO for Change of Name or Cayman Port, as per Appendix 6.

Section 4- Flag-in Surveys

1. Flag-in Surveys Merchant Ships

1.1 IACS PR 28 ‘Procedure for Change of Flag’ is recognised by CISR, however, any additional statutory surveys may be waived for a flag-in of a Merchant Ship from another Red Ensign Group (REG) flag, as this effectively a change in British port.

1.2 When CISR is not attending for a flag-in survey, the RO should complete and return the RO Instructions for Change of Flag – Merchant Ships, as per Appendix 7.

1.3 Interim ISM, ISPS and MLC audits and inspections may be carried out by the

RO without formal authorisation for vessels that CISR has confirmed will be accepted on the Enhanced Delegation Scheme (known to Shipowners as the CISR Flag State Compliance (FSC) scheme). However, this does not preclude CISR from conducting the interim audits or inspections at the request of the Shipowner or when deemed appropriate by CISR

2. Flag-in Surveys Yachts

2.1 IACS PR 28 ‘Procedure for Change of Flag’ is recognised by CISR.

2.3 When CISR is not attending for a flag-in survey of a pleasure yacht, the RO should complete and return the RO Instructions for Change of Flag – Pleasure Yacht Not Engaged in Trade, as per Appendix 8.

2.4 When CISR is not attending for a flag-in survey of a REG Yacht Code certified large yacht from another Red Ensign Group (REG) flag, the RO should complete and return the RO Instructions for Change of Flag – REG Coded Yacht, as per Appendix 9.


Section 5 - New construction, major modifications or conversions & type approval

1. New construction, major modifications or conversions Major modifications or conversions delegation arrangements and procedures are as per newbuild requirements.

2. Statutory equipment requiring type-approval Statutory equipment requiring type-approval must be accompanied by a type approval certificate issued by:

• an RO on behalf of an IMO Member State; or

• or a National Administration who are an IMO Member State

Equipment which has been certified under the Marine Equipment Directive (MED) is acceptable to be used on CISR registered vessels, although, it is not a mandatory requirement that equipment has been certified under the MED.

Section 6 - Reporting

1. All major non-conformities are to be reported to CISR immediately.

2. All deficiencies which in the opinion of the RO’s surveyor may affect the validity of the relevant statutory certificate are to be reported to CISR immediately.

3. See overarching RO Agreement for general reporting requirements.


Section 7 - SOLAS

SOLAS Chapter I

General provisions

No comments

SOLAS Chapter II-1

Construction – Structure, subdivision and stability, machinery and electrical installations

1. Initial testing of watertight boundaries IACS UR S14 Rev 6 (Reg 11) IACS UR S14 Rev 6 is acceptable as an equivalent provision for the initial testing of watertight bulkheads under SOLAS Chapter Ch. II-1, Reg.11. This is subject to the conditions stipulated in the equivalent provision notified to IMO in MS 067/011/00006. (Ref No. XQ46547 in CISR’s area of GISIS).

2. Pipes penetrating collision bulkheads (Reg12) The acceptance by the United Kingdom of equivalent arrangements with respect to SOLAS ChII-1, Reg.12.5.1, communicated to the IMO by MS 067-011-0006 has been extended to the Cayman Islands (Ref No. XQ46501 in CISR’s area of GISIS).

3. Means of going astern (Reg 28) The means of going astern (crash stop) is to be tested on every newbuild ship and not just the first in series.

SOLAS Chapter II-2 Construction – Fire protection, fire detection and fire extinction

1. Manually operated call points (Reg 7.7)

The CISR does not accept IACS UI (SC241) on Manually operated call points (MOCP), particularly in relation to the statement:

“Service spaces and control stations which have only one access, leading directly to the open deck, shall have a manually operated call point not more than 20 m (measured along the access route using the deck, stairs and/or corridors) from the exit.”

In these cases, the manually operated call point shall be at the exit to the space.

In cases where a ship is fitted with a Fixed Fire Detection System with MOCPs, the MOCPs shall be capable of immediate operation at all times in accordance with the FSS code. In particular, when a fire detection zone has been isolated or disabled and the MOCPs in this zone must continue to operate.

2. Spare breathing apparatus cylinders (Reg 15.2.2.6)

In addition to the fully charged spare cylinders required to be carried for each Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA), where no means for recharging such cylinders is provided on board, sufficient additional spare cylinders must be provided for training purposes. Factors to be considered by the shipowner when deciding upon the number of training cylinders to be provided include the requirements in the Safety Management System for the number/frequency of drills on board where SCBA cylinders may be used, and the nature of the vessels trading pattern with respect to shore- based charging facilities. Cylinders intended for training purposes should be prominently marked to indicate their intended use.

The Safety Management System must take account that at least one fully charged spare cylinder for training purposes must be provided for each SCBA set required by regulation to be on board.


3. Voluntary Early Implementation

MSC.1/Circ. 1565 - CISR has agreed that in respect to the requirements of II-2/10.5 a fixed water-based local application fire-extinguishing system may be fitted in lieu of a 135L foam extinguisher. The equivalence is available in CISR’s area of GISIS Ref. No. XQ46533.

4. Fire-extinguishing arrangements in cargo spaces (Reg.10.7)

The Exemption Certificate under the provisions of Reg.10.7.1.4 may be issued by a RO.

5. Emergency Escape Breathing Devices (EEBDs) (Reg 13)

The CISR’s interpretation on the number of EEBDs and spares required to be carried onboard

a ship is provided in CIGN 04/2004.

6. Fire-fighting Protective Clothing (Reg 10.10.1)

Fire-fighting protective clothing provided for the mandatory fire-fighting outfits should be approved for enclosed space entry, such as BS EN 469:2005.

Protective clothing approved to a fire proximity standard only (such as EN 531), with limitations such as “not suitable for fire entry” or “not a fire entry suit” are not acceptable as the mandatory fire-fighting outfits

SOLAS Chapter III Life-saving appliances and arrangements

1. Maintenance and Inspection of Life Saving Appliances

CIGN 09/2019 provides general guidance for the maintenance and inspection of life saving appliances.

2. Immersion suits (Reg 7.3)

The requirements for the carriage of immersion suits are stated in CISN 03/2007.

3. Oversized lifejackets

CISN 01/2011 provides clarification as to how to determine a ‘sufficient’ number of

oversized lifejackets.

4. Authorised service providers for survival craft launching appliances and on-load release gear (Reg 11)

Further information is available in CIGN 09/2019.

5. Radar Reflectors for SOLAS Liferafts

CISN 11/05 requires that when a Life-saving Appliances (LSA) Code approved liferaft is to be carried onboard a Cayman Islands ship it must always be provided with a radar reflector, even if a survival craft radar transponder is stowed in the liferaft.

6. Manual slewing of rescue boats (Reg 17)

The LSA Code requires that a rescue boat launching appliance shall not depend on any means other than gravity or stored mechanical power which is independent of the ship's power supplies to launch the rescue boat.

CISR accepts manual slewing of the rescue boat as an equivalent arrangement to SOLAS Regulations III/16 & III/17. The equivalence is available in CISR’s area of GISIS Ref. No. XQ50742.

https://www.cishipping.com/system/files/notices/documents/GN%202019%20-%2009%20LSA%20Testing%20and%20Inspection.pdf?download=1



Where a rescue boat launching appliance with manual slewing arrangements is provided, the following note is to be added to the Cargo Ship Safety Equipment Certificate in the free text box to the left of the signature block:

"Manual slewing of the rescue boat has been accepted by CISR in accordance with IMO SLS.14/Circ.448 as an equivalent arrangement to SOLAS Reg.III/17 regarding the stored mechanical power requirement."

7. Fall preventer devices (Reg 20)

CISR strongly recommends the use of fall preventer devices in accordance with MSC.1/Circ.1392 but their use is not mandatory.

8. Arrangements for remotely located survival craft (Reg 31.1.4)

CISR supports the implementation of revision 4 of IACS UI SC213 rev.4, subject to the following additional requirements being met:

- Portable lighting should be included in the ship’s planned maintenance system

- If installed on tankers, such electrical equipment should be of a safe type

- Securing arrangements such as brackets for portable lights should be suitable for the expected environmental conditions

9. Equivalent arrangements for the extended servicing of an inflatable liferaft (Reg 20.8) for the SURVITEC Group

CISR accept the UK’s approval of extended service intervals for inflatable liferafts according to IMO guidelines MSC.1/Circ.1328. The equivalence is available in CISR’s area of GISIS Ref. No. XQ48541.

SOLAS Chapter IV Radiocommunications

1. CIGN 04/2011 provides guidance of Ship Radio Station Licencing and EPIRB programming. Cayman Islands utility authority, OfREG, administers Ship Radio Station Licencing and only issues licences in digital format.

2. The Cayman Islands does not maintain its own dedicated EPIRB registration database, but instead has an agreement to utilize the UK database maintained by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) or the United States database maintained by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Both these agencies require Cayman flagged vessels to program their EPIRBs with the serialised protocol appropriate to their respective countries. On no account should EPIRBs be programmed with the Cayman Islands’ MMSI number.

3. The radio specialist undertaking the radio inspection should attend on the same date as the Cargo Ship Safety Radio survey. For yachts only, if this is not possible, they must attend at the earliest opportunity prior and within 2 weeks.

4. For vessels over 300GT the radio specialist must be approved by one of CISR’s Recognised Organisations.

5. For vessels under 300GT the radio specialist must be a service provider acceptable to CISR if not approved by one of CISR’s Recognised Organisations.

SOLAS Chapter V Safety of navigation

1. Safe manning and certification and training requirements for seafarers (Reg 14)

The requirements and guidance relating to minimum safe manning and seafarer’s certification and training requirements for yachts and Minimum Safe Manning Documents (MSMDs) are provided in our Manning Policy Manual for Yachts.

2. Carriage of Nautical Publications

CISN 13/2004 advises of the statutory and other requirements for publications, log books and manuals on Cayman Islands flag vessels over 12m registered length.

3. Electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS) (Reg 19)

CISN 03/2015 which brings MSC.1/Circ.1503 and CIGN 03/2016 clarifies the carriage requirement and seafarers’ training requirements for ECDIS on CISR-registered ships.

4. BNWAS (Reg 19)

CIGN 08/2012 prescribes the standards for BNWAS units installed on CISR registered ships.

5. Long-range identification and tracking of ships (LRIT) (Reg 19-1)

All CISR registered ships to which this regulation applies are fitted with a system automatically to transmit the ship’s identity, position, date and time of the position of the ship to the CISR’s National Data Centre. Further information is in CIGN 05/2008 and CIGN 06/2008.

6. Equivalent arrangement to the carriage requirements for standard and spare magnetic compasses (Reg 19)

A General Equivalence has been submitted to IMO stipulating that the carriage requirements for standard and spare magnetic compasses and a gyro compass may be satisfied by the fitting of three gyro compasses, under certain conditions – refer to Ref. No. XQ44575 in the CISR’s area of GISIS for the General Equivalence.

7. Voyage Data Recorders (Reg 20)

CIGN 05/2007 states the requirements for voyage date recorders and simplified voyage data recorders. Within MSC.333(90) different standards are permitted, depending on if the VDR has been installed before 1 July 2014 or on/after 01 July 2014.

The term installed shall be taken as meaning set in position, connected to relevant peripheral equipment, tested and ready for use and evidence of proper operation is verifiable by the Flag/RO or its representative.”

SOLAS Chapter VII Carriage of dangerous goods

1. Chapter 18 of the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk (IBC Code) lists products which have been reviewed for their safety and pollution hazards and determined not to present hazards to such an extent as to warrant the application of the Code. Nonetheless, some safety precautions may be necessary for the transportation of these products. Section 18.2 of the IBC Code requires that Administrations prescribe appropriate safety requirements for the carriage of these products. CISN 06/2011 outlines the safety precautions to be followed by companies and ships when transporting those products listed in Chapter 18

SOLAS Chapter XII Additional safety measures for bulk carriers

1. Resolution MSC.277(85) Clarification of the Term “Bulk Carrier”

All vessels to which this circular applies should be issued with a statement from their ROs identifying that they are either:

i. A dry cargo ship meeting the definition of 1.5 of the Resolution; or

ii. A dry cargo ship which may occasionally carry dry cargoes in bulk due to meeting the definition of 1.6 or 1.7 of the Resolution.

Dry cargo ships that fall under the above must be identified as ‘Other Cargo Ship’ for statutory certification purposes.

From 1st January 2020, CISR will not register any vessels as ‘Bulk Carriers’ unless they are a Bulk Carrier as defined in SOLAS regulation XII/1.1.

Any vessels currently registered as a ‘Bulk Carrier’ but only meeting the requirements of 1.ii are at their 3rd Special Survey (15 years of age) to be subjected to inspection to the scope of the International Code on the Enhanced Programme of Inspections during Surveys of Bulk Carriers and Oil Tankers, 2011 (2011 ESP Code); similarly the scope of the 4th Special Survey (20 years of age) the scope of the inspection is to be as per the 2011 ESP Code.

Any vessel registered as a ‘Dry Cargo Ship’ that wishes to carry dry cargo in bulk on an occasional basis must hold a statement as per 1.ii above and will require the prior agreement of the RO and CISR before undertaking a voyage with dry cargo in bulk. The interpretation of ‘occasional’ is left to the discretion of CISR.

Section 9 – Load Line, Tonnage, Ballast Water, Ship Recycling and COLREGs

Load Line

1. Multiple Load Line Certificates

No formal authorisation is required for the issue of multiple load line certificates. The requirements which should be applied to CISR registered vessels are as follows:

• The ship fully complies with all the applicable safety and pollution convention requirements appropriate for a ship of the maximum deadweight for which the minimum freeboard could be assigned;

• Only one set of Load Lines is displayed at one time -all others should be permanently marked but effectively painted over.

• If there are International Load Line Certificates in force concurrently relating to each set of Load Line marks, the Master is to ensure that the certificate in use corresponds to the Load Line marks displayed.

• The Master should make an entry in the vessel's Official Log Book on each occasion that the Load Line marks in use are changed. The attendance of a RO’s surveyor on such occasions is not required;

• All Load Line marks should be checked annually by the attending RO’s surveyor conducting the Load Line Annual survey. The CISR requires that all other statutory certificates shall show only the maximum deadweight of the ship. It is NOT intended to issue a full set of statutory certificates corresponding to each of the deadweights shown on the multiple Load Line Certificates

Tonnage

1. CISR would not normally consider small changes made solely for compliance with a new regulation to affect tonnage or application of regulations under other Conventions. For “new” ships under the Tonnage Convention, tonnage should always be re-measured following changes to enclosed spaces and if <=1% then either annotate the current certificate or issue a new certificate, at owner’s discretion; in either case using retaining the existing tonnage. If the cumulative effects of more than one such change exceeds 1% of the original tonnage, then the recalculated figure should be used on the Tonnage Certificate and all other Convention certificates. For “existing ships” the current 1% allowance under TM5/Circ.6 applies. [REG-UI 0001.A01]

Ballast Water Management

1. This convention has yet to be extended to CISR by the UK. In the meantime, an RO may issue a Statement of Compliance for a CISR flagged vessel; CIGN 02/2017 refers

2. Water held in the hopper of a dredger does not fall under the requirements of the Convention; IMO BWM.2/Circ.32 refers.

https://www.cishipping.com/system/files/notices/documents/CIGN%202017%20-%2002%20IOPP%20Renewal.pdf?download=1


Ship Recycling (EU Regulation and Hong Kong Convention)

1. The Hong Kong convention has yet to be extended to CISR by the UK. In the meantime, an RO may issue a Statement of Compliance for a CISR flagged vessel; CIGN 02/2019 on EU Ship Recycling Regulation also refers.

2. CISR has no objection to one RO issuing a Statement of Compliance (supplemented by a verified IHM) for a vessel classed by another RO.

Section 10 REG Yacht Code

Red Ensign Group (REG) Yacht Code – General requirements

1. CISR apply the REG Yacht Code as an equivalent arrangement with respect to the International Convention on Load Line (ILLC), 1966, The International Convention on the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974 and the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping Seafarers (STCW). This has been communicated to the IMO (Ref No. XQ48537 in CISR’s area of GISIS).

2. It should be noted that Part A of the Code is applicable to Large Yachts engaged in commercial use which are 24 metres and over in load line length and which do not carry cargo and do not carry more than 12 passengers or if built before 21 July 1968, 150 gross tons and over according to the tonnage measurements applying at that date. Part B of the Code is applicable to Passenger Yachts engaged in private and commercial use of any size which carry more than 12 but not more than 36 passengers on international voyages.

3. For pleasure yachts engaged solely in private use that comply with the REG Code Part A on a voluntary basis but wish to omit compliance with certain requirements (i.e. ISPS Code, MLC) then, subject to their discretion, CISR may issue an annually endorseable ‘Statement of Compliance’ listing non-compliant items.

4. The Red Ensign Group Yacht Code and corrigenda can be found at the following link: https://www.redensigngroup.org/publications

5. Matrices detailing the division of responsibilities with respect to surveys and the issue of statutory certification of newbuild REG Code - Part A – Large Yachts is provided in following:

- Appendix 3 Large Yacht Newbuild Delegation Matrix - Appendix 4 Helicopter Landing Area Delegation Matrix

6. Survey and Certification of Newbuild REG Code Yachts Along with applicable statutory certificates, the attending RO’s surveyor will be asked to issue a statement confirming the yacht meets the REG Yacht Code requirements for delegated items. Further details of CISR’s working relationship with the RO are provided in the overarching RO Agreement. A surveyor from CISR will attend the yard at intervals during the build process as per their agreement with the shipyard.

7. Application of Regulations to Dormant Yacht Newbuild Projects For projects that have remained dormant after keel laying, with a significant delay with

respect to the building contract or shipbuilding plan, CISR and the RO will on a ‘case-by-case’ basis evaluate whether to accept the original keel laying date for the application of the regulations. Refer to CIGN 10/2020 for further information.

REG Yacht Code – Additional requirements

1. Lightweight Survey A lightweight survey is required to be carried out to the satisfaction of the attending RO surveyor at intervals not exceeding five years. Refer to CIGN 04/2020 for further information.

2. Bow Height – Application of the Load Line Convention

The increased bow height requirement introduced by IMO Resolution A972(24) is not applied to yachts certified compliant with the REG Yacht Code Part A. Such yachts may be constructed with bow height in accordance with the requirements of the 1966 Load Line Convention; an exemption is not required.

REG Yacht Code – Certification

1. Cargo Ship Safety Construction (SAFCON), Cargo Ship Safety Equipment (SEC), Cargo Ship Safety Radio (SRC) or International Load Line Convention (ILLC) certification issued by an RO on behalf of CISR should be annotated as follows:

“This yacht is in compliance with the equivalent arrangements of the REG YC extended to the

Cayman Islands by IMO GISIS reference number XQ46476 dated 20thNovember 2018”

Section 11 - ISM

ISM Code

1. ISM procedures & certification

The procedures and criteria for the conduct of ISM audits and the issuance of DOC and SMC

certification shall be carried out in accordance with the following:

• IACS procedure No.9 Rev.3; and

• IMO Resolution A.1118 (30) Revised guidelines on the implementation of the International Safety Management Code by Administrations.

2. ISM audit delegation

2.1 Shipboard audits

CISR carries out ISM audits and issues ISM certification for commercial yachts, passenger

ships and merchant ships not on the Enhanced Delegation Scheme (known to Shipowners

as the CISR Flag State Compliance (FSC) scheme). However, this does not preclude CISR

from conducting the audit at the request of the Shipowner or when deemed appropriate

by CISR.

In addition to those ISM audits required under the Code, Class may also carry out any

additional ISM audits as instructed by the CISR, considering the severity of the failure of

the working systems on board the Company’s vessels. Circumstances may include but not

be limited to the number of ISM related deficiencies, issuance of PR17 notifications or the

detention of an Cayman Islands ship on ISM related deficiencies. Additional ISM audits may

be carried out by the CISR at its discretion.

2.2 DOC audits

CISR normally carries out all DOC audits for Companies that operate commercial yachts,

passenger ships and merchant ships not on the Enhanced Delegation Scheme (known to

Shipowners as the CISR Flag State Compliance (FSC) scheme) but may at their discretion

authorise the RO or another REG Flag (if multi-REG flagged fleet) to

conduct the audit on CISR’s behalf.

For Companies with all their vessels on the Enhanced Delegation Scheme, CISR will issue

an authorisation for the RO or another REG Flag (if multi-REG flagged fleet) to

conduct the audit on CISR’s behalf. However, CISR will undertake an audit at least once in

5 years and typically this will be the renewal audit. For a Company new to CISR, CISR will

undertake the next DOC audit after the first vessel is registered.


Section 12 - ISPS

ISPS Code

1. ISPS audit procedures and certification

ISPS audits and the issue or endorsement of ISPS certification must be completed as per the requirements of the ISPS Code and IACS PR24(Rev 2).

The attending Class Surveyor is authorised by CISR to view the entire Ship Security Plan, Ship Security Assessment and any records pertaining to ship security for the sole purpose of conducting ISPS verifications in accordance with IACS PR24(Rev 2).

Any personnel carrying out ISPS verifications or handling information related to maritime security must treat the information as strictly confidential and must not disclose any security information to a third party without written authorisation from the CISR or the Company Security Officer.

2. ISPS delegation CISR carries out ISPS audits and issues ISPS certification for commercial yachts and passenger ships. In addition, there are a few cargo ship companies with which the CISR carries out ISPS audits on their ships. For all other ships, the ISPS audits are fully delegated to the RO.

In addition to those ISPS audits required under the Code, RO’s may also be requested to carry out any additional audits as instructed by the CISR. Circumstances may include but not be limited to the detention of an Cayman Islands ship on ISPS related deficiencies or a failure of the vessel to follow guidance provided in relation to ship security.

3. Shipboard security plan approval All Shipboard Security Plans must be approved by the CISR. Class are not authorised to approve Ship Security Plans on behalf of the CISR.

Cayman Islands ISPS specific requirements

1. Interim Audit

Prior to an interim audit being carried it is to be confirmed that CISR have acknowledged submission of the Ship Security Plan (SSP) and the supporting Ship Security Assessment (SSA).

2. ISPS records

Confirm the records required to be kept by the Ship Security Plan are being maintained

on board and in the English language.

Confirm ISPS records are kept for a minimum of 3 years (this may be 1 year on the ship

and 2 years in the office).


3. Ship Security Alert System (SSAS)

Guidance on SSAS is given in CIGN 06/2007. A SSAS ‘live test’ is to be conducted at all audits, including interim audits. The Company is to advise the UK MRCC and CISR in advance of a test being carried out; contact details are given in CIGN 04/2016. It is to be confirmed that an SSAS function test (without involving CISR or UK MRCC) has been carried out at intervals not exceeding 3 months. Confirm that incidents relating to maritime security have been communicated to CISR as per CISN 02/2015.

4. Failure of Security Equipment It is to be verified that any failure of security equipment or systems, or suspension of a security measure for whatever reason, equivalent temporary security measures should be adopted, notified to, and agreed by CISR.

If the operation of any equipment is necessary to fulfil a requirement of the SSP or the ISPS Code it will be classed as “security equipment” for the purposes of the ISPS Code. This will include “dual use” equipment, even when the equipment’s primary function is not related to security. As an example, deck lighting will probably be classed as security equipment as it is required to effectively monitor deck areas during the hours of darkness. Similarly, communications equipment will be classed as security equipment if it is used for security related communications. Conversely, an internal door lock would not normally be classed as security equipment unless, say, it was also used to control access to a restricted area.

5. Security Advisory Notices

Security Advisory Notices to communicate security levels and security-level information

are emailed to Company Security Officers. This information is confidential, however, in

order to enable Company Security Officers (CSO), Masters, Ship Security Officers (SSO)

and ISPS Auditors to determine if the most recent Maritime Security Level Notification is

being held on board a list of the last ten Maritime Security Level Notifications issued by

CISR is provided on our website.

6. Private Contracted Armed Security Personnel (PCASP)

Cayman Islands merchant shipping laws and regulations do not prohibit the use of firearms or armed guards on board Cayman Islands flagged vessels. With the escalation of acts of piracy and armed robbery in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean, the Maritime Authority of the Cayman Islands (MACI) recognises why many owners feel that the carriage of armed security guards is necessary for the protection of vessels and crews.

As such, the decision as to whether armed guards are to be carried in this area lies with the owner and MACI would not seek to prohibit such a course of action being taken. The decision to carry armed guards on board Cayman Islands vessels should only be taken after a careful assessment of all relevant risks and taking all reasonable steps to reduce and mitigate these risks. CIGN 03/2011 provides further information and guidance.

A ‘Letter of No Objection (LONO)’ may be requested from CISR by the Company.

Section 13 - MLC

MLC inspections

1. MLC inspections

MLC inspections and the issue of the MLC Certificates shall be carried out in accordance

with the following:

1. IACS No.40 Rev.1 Procedural requirements for MLC, 2006 Certification;

2. ILO’s Guidelines for Flag State Inspections; and

3. Cayman Islands specific requirements (stated below)

Prior to an MLC initial inspection, the Seafarer Employment Agreement (SEA) and DMLC II should be submitted to CISR for review.

For yachts compliant with the Large Commercial Yacht Code but not holding am MLC Certificate (i.e. <500GT), confirmatory MLC inspections are carried out annually within the scope of the LYC survey.

2. MLC delegation

The CISR carries out MLC inspections and issues MLC certification on commercial yachts

and passenger ships. There are also a number of cargo ship companies with which the

CISR carries out MLC inspections on their ships.

For all other ships, Class are fully delegated to carry out MLC inspections.

In addition to those inspections required under the MLC, Class may also carry out

additional inspections as instructed by the CISR, taking into account the reasons for the

inspection. This may include the detention of a ship on MLC related deficiencies or receipt

of a complaint.

Additional MLC verifications may be carried out by the CISR at its discretion.

3. MLC certification & DMLC Part I & II

For ships where MLC inspections have been delegated to Class, Class are authorised to

issue the MLC Certification. However, the CISR issues a signed but un-dated DMLC Part I

and approves the Seafarer Employment Agreements (SEAs).

The DMLC Part I issue date should be added by the attending Class surveyor when he/she

signs the DMLC Part II and issues the MLC Certificate.

A copy of the SEA approved by the CISR should be available onboard.

4. Amendments to DMLC Part I & II

DMLC Part I – The latest CISR DMLC I is available on our website www.cishipping.com

under Forms>Declaration or Maritime Compliance (DMLC 1)

DMLC Part II – If the shipowner makes minor amendments, they can use an

amendment sheet to state these (this includes amending contact details, references to

forms and/or the SMS). If the amendments are major, the DMLC II should be re-

approved.

5. Exemptions or Equivalences

Any exemptions or equivalences shall be agreed by the CISR. Any existing exemptions or

equivalences are stated on the DMLC Part I.

6. Reporting

In the event of a serious deficiency, CISR is to be advised immediately.

7. Seafarer Complaints

MLC complaints are investigated by the CISR. If Class receive any complaints, these shall

be forwarded to [email protected] along with any comments from the

attending surveyor. Alternatively, seafarers can submit a complaint to us directly via our

on-line form

Cayman Islands MLC specific requirements

The following requirements are specific to CISR flagged ships and need to be verified during MLC inspections:

• Medical stores onboard must comply with CISN 06/2014

• Food fresh water and catering staff training CISN 07/2014

• Hours of work and rest CISN 05/2014

• Crew Accommodation CISN 03/2014

The following instructions are intended to ensure that yacht’s documentation is in order
